Chapter 11
A little bit later the two had finished eating their meals and their glasses of Coca Cola were now only half full. The Singer on the stage had just returned from a little break and to be able to see her better Lizzie turned around her chair so that she was facing the stage directly along with Gordo, who already knew exactly what was coming right now and he had to fight very hard to keep his excitement about the whole thing in check just for a little bit longer because he didn't want to ruin the big surprise. After taking another sip from her water, which stood on a little bar stool right next to her on the stage Emily Jacobs said into the microphone: "Thank you for being such a great audience tonight I really appreciate that a lot and the next song is a special request from someone that sits here in the restaurant tonight and is having the first date with his new girlfriend. Lizzie Mc Guire this next song is for you and I hope you like it."
Of course Lizzie was speechless for a moment and couldn't really get a grasp on what was happening right now but then as it started to dawn on her she thought: OMG! That's such a sweet gesture from him and now this evening will be really memorable. She was touched by this little surprise as the band started to play the song that some tears out of pure joy threatened to fall down her cheeks but she was able to wipe them away with one of her thumbs before they reached their destination.
Some people live for the fortune
Some people live just for the fame
Some people live for the power, yeah
Some people live just to play the game
Some people think that the physical things
Define what's within
And I've been there before but that life's a bore
So full of the superficial
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah
Some people search for a fountain
That promises forever young
Some people need three dozen roses
And that's the only way to prove you love him
Hand me the world on a silver platter
And what good would it be?
With no one to share
With no one who truly cares for me
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, you, you
Some people want it all
But I don't want nothing at all
If it ain't you, baby
If I ain't got you, baby
Some people want diamond rings
Some just want everything
But everything means nothing
If I ain't got you, yeah
If I ain't got you with me, baby
Said nothing in this whole wide world don't mean a thing
If I ain't got you with me, baby
As the song then had come to an end, she wasn't able to hold back her tears of joy and instead of saying anything she kissed him right on the mouth and to her it didn't matter that all a lot of people in the restaurant were directly looking at them. He was a little bit surprised by this bold move from her but then he kissed her back with a lot of passion and for a few minutes they enjoyed the kiss with time becoming irrelevant for them for a while.
It took a couple of minutes but then she was able to speak again and said: "Wow! I totally loved the surprise and thank you for a wonderful evening so far. "He was pretty happy that his date liked the surprise and after he had taken another sip from his drink he replied: "You're welcome and I'm glad to you've enjoyed tonight so far."
Lizzie and Gordo then ordered their dessert after they had finished their drinks: Gordo decided on a Banana Split and Lizzie the Strawberry Cup because those were one of her favorite fruits. As he held onto for a while, she couldn't help but blush violently because this was she still had to get used to somehow. After hesitating for a while she stroke his hand, they tried their best to cover up the awkwardness that was still stood between them a little bit. There was some silence between them before Gordo said: "Do you like to dance with me?" She really didn't need to think about that for too long and so she replied with big a smile on her face: "Yes I would love to do that." He took her by the hand and lead her onto a very empty dance floor and as her hands lay on his thighs, this reminded her of the first time that they had shared a dance together.
Flashback
The day had been a total disaster if she was honest with herself: Even if she had changed her whole personality, just because she wanted to go to the Sadie Hawkins Dance with the great Ethan Craft it all hadn't worked out in the end. Right at this moment she sat at her brother's little bar in the Garden in front of the house and poured out her heart to her little brother. Her train of thought was interrupted as Miranda and Gordo, her two best friends, the two people that she needed the most right now arrived to her rescue so to speak.
"How are you doing?"
"Not bad at all, my parents kept pulling the card: Everybody would be happy to able to go out with you."
"Do you want to go to the dance anyway?"
"No, I don't have a date."
"Neither do I, I thought of somebody to ask but it turns out that Brad Pitt is married"
"And as predicted good Old Gordo has also got zero invites."
"Then dance with me." Lizzie said and of course Miranda's little joke about asking Brad
Pitt to dance with her had accomplished its mission: A little smile had appeared on her lips for moment. Of course Gordo was surprised by this spontaneous offer from her but then he joined her and she just said: "Play it Lanny."
